We are pleased to present
the 15th annual Computers in Libraries — the most comprehensive
North American conference and exhibition on all aspects of library technology.
Although the technology and tools available to libraries may have changed
over the years, the excellent quality and range of both topics and speakers
at Computers in Libraries 2000 remain the same.

Who needs hurricanes when
you work in the information industry?

Computers in Libraries
2000 helps information professionals deal with the hurricane of change
in the information and information technology industries. It caters to
all interests and all levels of knowledge. This year, a new location but
the same great program! CIL 2000 brings more than 100 dynamic speakers
to the four simultaneous tracks during the conference, plus pre and post
conference workshops, as well as our exciting and fun Wednesday evening
program. Once again, we are featuring a 2-day conference within a conference,
Computers
in School Libraries 2000, Friday and Saturday, March 17 & 18, which
provides more in-depth coverage of technology and its impact on the practices
and practical concerns of librarians, teachers, and school library media
specialists in the K-12 education system.

Conference themes concentrate
on key issues for information professionals in libraries, developing information
services and Web-based products, and searching or guiding content users.
Many intranet librarians and Webwizards share their experience. Representatives
of national libraries present their best practices while other speakers
present programs on search engines, digitizing resources, content strategies,
public libraries, e-resources, virtual services, integrating systems and
technology, knowledge management, training, instruction and learning, as
well as trends for the future. Sessions present leading edge applications
and case studies, including practical ideas and solutions that allow you
to transfer proven strategies to your library and information service.
